Excerpt from The Recorder, Vol. 1: Being a Collection of Tracts and Disquisitions, Chiefly Relative to the Modern State and Principles of the People Called Quakers

Whoever shall have passed many years in habits of reflection on religious subjects, and have felt himself warmly interested in the principles of his education, will best account for my chief inducement to the publication of this work. To some among my old associates in religious connection the necessity of it may not be obvious, and the propriety may not be readily assented to: others again may have different opinions about the series of selection. But, on the whole, I have used what appeared to me a liberty suitable to the present state of the Society, and consistent with an independent choice.

The rise, progress, and principles of Friends have been amply detailed by several able writers in different periods, and their labours, long before the publick, are sufficient evidence that we have wanted neither care nor ability to give that publick very general information.
